    Shutdown and attraction maintenance

    With the parks operating with bare bones staffing, does anyone have any thoughts on the effect of attractions being inoperative for an extended period of time? I realize that they go down, often for months, for refurbishment from time to time. With so many mechanical systems sitting idle for so...

    Welcome back my friends to the construction that never ends.....

    So I was perusing the parks in Google Earth today looking over the various projects across WDW. It's mostly infrastructure right now, but it got me wondering. Has there ever been a period since MK opened that there hasn't been some form of building/demolition/remodeling on property? I'm talking...

    Monorail travel direction

    For whatever reason, this actually kept me up last night... Is there a practical reason the MK monorails run in opposite directions? I'd read on another thread that once upon a time both Resort and Express went in the same direction, but this was changed to discourage "racing" the trains around...

Any insights...

When we checked in we were greeted by a towel Mickey head on our bed. During the course of our stay we observed little bunnies, photos, even princess costumes...

    Crowds last week of April

    My daughter's Spring Break falls the week after Easter on the last week of April. Any thoughts or insights as to crowds? I think this falls somewhere between the "true" Spring Break and Grad Nights so I was hoping we might find some moderate crowd levels that week.:veryconfu Thanks.

    Crowd levels April 26-30?

    My daughter's Easter vacation is much later than normal this year. I was noticing on other sites that crowd levels in the world during the last week of April tend to run on the low side. Anyone have any tips on this from touringplans.com or others? I'm hoping we'll avoid the Spring Break crush...

    What does it cost to run WDW?

    Greetings. I've been lurking on this board for more than a year now and have finally decided to make a post. I in no way consider myself an expert on WDW in the way some of you seem to be. I've only been twice, my last visit was 10 years ago. Although I hope to bring my 5 year old daughter soon...
